The Lord blessed and God opened the door to share on TRINITY BROADCAST NETWORK’s – “Praise the Lord” television show on January 21, 2014 that literally airs around the globe. Today, TBN is the third largest television of any in the world and first among Christian programming. They reach over 100 nations via 80 sattelites and in 200 million households. Their motto for years has been “Coast to coast and around the world.”
Twenty years ago while sitting in a condo on the beach in Florida our vacation was hampered with pouring rain. I was stuck inside and while flipping through the television with remote I stumbled across TBN’s Praise the Lord show. I recall then and there thinking, “Lord, if its your will I would love to sit on that couch and share the Gospel one day.” God still saves and answers prayers and what a treat it was to lift UP Jesus!
My dear friend, Pastor Frank Santora was the host and God is using him powerfully and he pastors FAITH CHURCH in Milford, CT and a campus on NYC! We have been friends for over 15 years and I have been blessed to preach at his church multiple times and they are one of the fastest growing churches in that non-Bible belt located in the north-east corridor. On January 11, 2014 I was preaching at a Men’s Conference in Hagerstown, MD at Paramount Baptist in the morning and spoke at a Youth Event that night for their church and was in my hotel getting ready for bed that Saturday night to preach in the morning at their main worship service. Pastor Frank contacted me at 10PM and asked if I could be in New York City in less than 48 hours to tape as a guest on the show! It rained in Florida years ago when I prayed and I was mindful more than ever in that hotel in Maryland now en route to NYC that God REIGNS all the time!
After the intro, I was blessed to come on the 25 minute mark and a NFL Coach from NY Jets was on right before. We were blessed to receive hundreds of comments from folks from across America and emails from Africa and other spots. TBN on their facebook page put a picture of us from the show and in one day it got over 750 likes, 40 comments and 90 shares. They really do have a world-wide IMPACT and to God be the glory. What an honor it was to share God’s Word with the world and its always time to PRAISE THE LORD!
* Frank is on @ 25 minute mark
Frankie, great job on the TBN show. Stepping stones, Stepping stones. May the precious Holy Spirit bless you greatly as you go forth winning souls. Maranatha (The Lord Cometh)
Keep on keeping on! You’re fighting a good fight and your “team” (the Trinity) is WINNING! It’s -9 degrees and “sunny” in Pa. this morning! Imagine ‘sun’ without ‘heat’ or ‘warmth’! Only in ‘sunny’ SW PA.!
Matt and I are in Florida for his Programs and you were on the hotel TV! It truly ministered to us. Love your sincere heart for Jesus!
Saw you last nite on TBN, what a great job. So proud of one of our own, from our hood, becoming so successful. Only God. We love you Frankie, praying God Bless you with many more opportunities to preach for His Glory. But how did you get to the White House???
Hey Buddy you looked great Tues night. The one liners were great. Please let me know when you are back in town so i can take you out for Dinner while in CT or NY. Be blessed
You are in the midst of something great my brother
God honored all of US by allowing YOU to stand up for Jesus ” in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation”, (Phil.2:15b), beaming out the light of the gospel like a lighthouse! Thank GOD and thank YOU!
Awesome job “reporting for duty” on TBN. That was as clear of a Gospel message as I have ever heard. You are truly gifted my friend. You preached about TEN sermons “FS” style in that interview and most preachers would have been spitting and sputtering just trying to tell their name or about their book. Blessings from GA! Very proud to call you friend and brother. Love ya man
Frank, God spoke through you this week @ TBN and I was truly encouraged to be a better Christian and a better witness. I’m so grateful our paths crossed almost 20 years ago at GWU–God Bless!
Just saw TBN great show great MSG. Great man of God. Made me think about how far I have gotten from sharing Jesus with others . I wish no one had to go to Hell.
AWESOME job on TBN tonight!! We were blessed by your words of wisdom! So proud to call you friend!
